The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) will allow students of class XII to appear for a single entrance examination for admission to almost all the medical colleges in India, including private medical colleges. NEET will be introduced in May, 2014.

A single merit list will be released for nearly 35,000 MBBS seats across the country, which will also include state, minorities and SC/ST quotas.

Management quota candidates will also be selected from the national merit list. The main objective of conducting such a test is to set a standard for basic medical education.
Under-graduate courses at the AIIMS in New Delhi and Post-graduate Institute for Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh may not come under the purview of NEET as these two institutes were set up by separate laws, which need to be amended so as to introduce the new system. Less
